I don't want it to end!!!!! Seriously Sumac you have inspired me!"
Belinda, UK

​"I have enjoyed the course very much and learned a whole lot.
Not just about training dogs with a different mind set, approach and new skills, but I learned a lot about myself and how I need to improve on many levels. Learning comes through pleasure - as it should. :)"
Bob, WY, USA

"I really appreciated seeing the steps to make this complex game seem simple to learn. That's exactly what I was hoping to get out of this course."
Cyn, VT USA

Yes indeed this has been beyond the most absolute pleasure to partake in the WIG's instructors course. I could not have imagined in advance just how valuable it would be. It's already changed my training and teaching approach. One million THANK YOUs.
